Better Man

Bruce Langdon

Sinossi

Better Man describes one man's journey through romantic relationships.  The author navigates college, graduate school, and then present day as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.  This book is a story about love, heartbreak, and the difficult lessons learned while traveling the treacherous road of dating.  Striving to become a better man, the author learns about his own values, what he's looking for in a partner, and that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is run.  Getting through break-ups, navigating partners with differing values, and having the realization that just because sparks fly when you meet doesn’t always mean it’s meant to be – these are just a few of the harder truths the author learns along the way.  Better Man is not a better-than-revenge book, geared towards making fun of exes or blaming the innocent.  It’s a first-hand account of three major relationships, told through the eyes of the author as he experienced them.  There’s a shift in perspective from one’s early 20’s into their mid-30’s, and realizations are made…past experiences are seen with a newly discovered clarity. 
 
As the author gets further in his study of psychology and gains a greater understanding of things like communication and what it means for a relationship to be ‘healthy’, his relationships continue to grow increasingly toxic.  Will he throw in the towel and simply decide it’s best to assume he’s had his last kiss?  Or dust himself off and begin again?  If this was a movie, should it end like a fairytale or something more sad…beautiful…tragic?  Will the author end up healing from his past relationships and become the better man he set out to be?  Or be forever haunted? 
 
Let’s hope there’s a hopeless ‘new’ romantic on the other side of the door…so to speak…now...on to the story of us…

America’s Greatest First Ladies...

Charles River Editors

American presidents have shaped the course of global affairs for generations, but as the saying goes, behind every great man there’s a great woman. While the First Ladies often remain overshadowed by their husbands, some have carved unique niches in their time and left their own lasting legacy. Dolley Madison helped establish the role of the First Lady in the early 1800s, Eleanor Roosevelt gave voice to policy issues in a way that made her a forerunner of First Ladies like Hillary Clinton, and Jackie Kennedy created glamorous trends that made her more popular than her husband.  
	If Dolley Madison was instrumental in molding the role of First Lady in the 19th century, credit can be given to Eleanor Roosevelt for revolutionizing the political nature of the role in the 20th and 21st centuries and making it possible for presidents like Bill Clinton to enlist their wives to handle political duties. At the same time, history might remember Eleanor more for what she did outside of the White House, as she became a critically acclaimed and world famous international author and advocate of civil rights, women’s rights. By the time she had finished working for the United Nations, working on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, President Truman rightly called her “The First Lady of the World.”  
	In 1961, President John F. Kennedy made it seem like anything was possible, and Americans were eager to believe him. The next three years would be fondly and famously labeled “Camelot,” suggesting an almost mythical quality about the young President and his family. The famous label came from John’s fashionable and beautiful wife, Jackie, whose elegance and grace made her the most popular woman in the world. Her popularity threatened to eclipse even her husband’s, who famously quipped on one presidential trip to France that he was “the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris.”

The Red Leather Diary -...

Lily Koppel

“A world straight from the pages of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. . . . An extraordinary story about coming of age, following your dreams and discovering (or rediscovering) who you are, were and want to be.” — Parade 
Rescued from a Dumpster on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a discarded diary brings to life the glamorous, forgotten world of an extraordinary young woman 
Opening the tarnished brass lock of a red leather diary found in the basement of a New York City apartment building, New York Times writer Lily Koppel embarked on a journey into the past. Compelled by the hopes and heartaches captured in the pages, Koppel set out to find the diary’s owner, a 90-year old woman named Florence. Eventually reunited with her diary, Florence ventured back to the girl she once was, rediscovering a lost self that burned with artistic fervor. 
Joining intimate interviews with original diary entries, The Red Leather Diary is an evocative and entrancing work that recreates the romance and glitter, sophistication and promise, of 1930s New York, bringing to life the true story of a precocious young woman who dared to follow her dreams.
